University women's and men's mindsets surrounding postcesarean birth: Findings and implications for practice and policy

ConclusionGiven the current primary cesarean rate of ~20%, the current childbearing generation will be facing cesarean and postcesarean birth decisions in appreciable numbers. The relatively high VBAC preference rate reported by our participants, particularly men, is useful in advocating for expanded access and practice. From a constructivist perspective, evidence of young adults’ mindsets and misconceptions surrounding postcesarean birth is valuable for developing effective educational interventions.
